Regina – On March 25 the government of Saskatchewan posted its list of what it considers critical public services to address COVID-19 and allowable business services. Among the obvious, like health care workers and grocery stores, the oil and gas sector, and its supply chain, is also included. Agriculture and its supply chain is similarly on the list. Premier Scott Moe referred to Saskatchewan's new "social distancing economy."
